re: #301 Citizen K

The NRA essentially owns the country. Nothing will change long as this remains true, and it seems like the very act of challenging them makes them stronger because of how many instantly react with unshakable contrarianism that forever thwarts any efforts and hopes for change.

and yet they only have like 5 million members - literally 2% of the adult US population

the 98% - which includes non-owners and a lot of responsible owners, have ceded this power and could take it back instantly if it wanted to
